Apparently that's the goal of the Islamic extremist: Take every country they control back to the 13th century.

I said I found Ayn Rand in high school. I never said what of hers I read.

I read THE NEW LEFT: THE ANTI-INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION (since retitled THE RETURN OF THE PRIMITIVE). It's one of the finest works of rightist philosophy of the past century. It's prose is stark, lean, powerful.

Ayn Rand taught me a fundamental truth in the 1970s that escapes most conservatives to this day: that the Left is NOT "motivated by the best of intentions." That feminists do not give a damn about equal rights for women. That environmentalists do NOT give a damn about the environment.

I knew this nearly 20 years before the feminists betrayed their ideals for Bill Clinton, thanks to Ayn Rand.

I also read ANTHEM and NIGHT OF JANUARY 16, two minor Rand works. I never read THE FOUNTAINHEAD or ATLAS SHRUGGED. No matter.

Rand's THE NEW LEFT (aka RETURN OF THE PRIMITIVE) contains more fundamental wisdom than everything every said by Bill Buckley and Rush Limbaugh combined.

Rush (of the Institute for BEGINNER Conservative Studies) communicates simple baby-truths to the unitiated. But he still commits the intellectual error of calling leftists "liberals." And National Review puts daily events into perspective.

But Rand is better on FUNDAMENTAL truths. So too Nietzsche (from whom Rand borrowed), who understood the influence of "resentment" in politics.

Ah, those crises....But those didn't take place here...I am not talking about crisis as I define it, but as the nation defines it.

During the Serbian massacre, I voiced many opinions, to the dismay of humanitarian fellow americans. Being of Greek descent, I had a different view of the whole thing. That crisis, and others, were not really dealt with, they were hastily patched.

Indonesian Muslims are anything but "peaceful" since they have systematically persecuted and even killed Indonesian Hindus, Christians, and native pagan peoples. Indonesia is a socio-political basketcase of continual strife and internal revolution. The question is, when haven't these bastard's blood been boiling over something?

Our culture has been given memoriable phrase after memoriable phrase by the Bible. It is filled with the deepest wisdom imaginable. Geneology is not the most interesting writing I will admit but only that is really that dull to one who admires great literature. Since you think Ayn Rand to be significant I would not think you would be susceptible to great literature's blessings.

There are few admonitions to violence in the Bible and none in the New Testament. This is in stark contrast to the Koran.

Don't take my word for it, read the fricking thing. It is pure garbage from cover to cover.

I defy anyone who believes the Koran to be good literature to read the damn thing. Reading it would be a wake up call to all believers in the peaceful nature of Islam.
